St. Augustine Prep's Josh Thompson scored 25 points and was named MVP in the National Conference's 101-95 overtime win in the Ocean City Home Bank Dixie Howell Classic. And Absegami's Sara Mostafa scored 17 as the American Girls were 62-59 winners in the Just Four Wheels Girls Classic.

It all happened at the end of All Star Saturday at Ocean City High School yesterday, a day when the past, present and future of Cape-Atlantic League basketball is celebrated.

The boys game was the first overtime game in the 17-year series. It was created when Travis Washington of Hammonton buried a three-pointer from the corner as the fourth quarter buzzer sounded, tying the game. But the Pleasantville duo of Klev Exantus and Nate Evans scored the first 10 points of overtime.

The American girls used the strength of Mostafa and EHT's Jamila Garrett to control the inside game. But they needed two free throws by Ocean City's Nancy White in the final 10 seconds to assure the win.

Sean Bannon of Mainland was the boys three-point champion, beating Atlantic City's Khalif Toombs on a tiebreaking shootout. But Sally O'Donnell of Wildwood Catholic, who won the girls title by making 24 of 30 three-pointers, beat Bannon, 8-7, in the Three-Point Showdown.

Earlier in the day, the Mainland Legends defeated Ocean City, 78-69, behind MVP Billy Care.

The Cape-Atlantic area 8th grade boys defeated Camden County, 69-57, with MVP Keyshawn Reynolds of Atlantic City scoring 12.

And the CAL area 8th grade girls used 15 points by MVP Raina Floyd of Northfield to beat the Jersey Shoreshots, 52-39.

T. John Casiello of St. Ann's in North Wildwood, won the 8th grade boys foul shooting contest. And Vanessa Clark of Cape May Court House made 27 of 29 free throws to edge Floyd in an exciting girls foul shooting contest.
